    What they took down is an easily accessible public server that hosts content itself and is accessed by tens of thousands of technologically illiterate people via their phones - with no VPN - constantly. These folks are streaming movie after movie, 720p cam jobs, making these sites light up like the 4th of July (or like a Christmas tree, whatever reference works for you).

      Makes sense, though that just gives the impression that this site isn’t anything special. I swear there’s a million and a half streaming sites by now, and I would bet everyone using FMovies has found clones or alternatives (if they didn’t already know of some).

        Maybe. I know several technotards who think they’ve discovered black magic because of an Ebaums World quality site where they have to watch 20 ads per shitty 720p movie and they run around telling everyone they meet about the site. These sites spring up, spread like fire, and get merkd fast af. Meanwhile torrent sites last YEARS by being a little more underground.
